CHICAGO, Ill, June B. There WAS nothing
special In sight in the opening to cause any
change in the prices, nor was the temper of the
local crowd in any material sense different
from that prevailing yesterday afternoon. Pri-
vate cables quoted wheat dull with a turn In
buyers favor. Receipts here were DIS cars of
wheat July wheat opened at S6i4C and eased
off to S6kC, then sold up to S6i46667sc.
June sold at SOC, All through the first hour
wheat dragged very he Willy, keeping close TO
the later quotations. There was no orders In
for flour, nor were the clique houses disposed
to do anything at all. After II O'Clock
the market became little less life

ordinarily active AdviCes from California
ere that sellers for the year were per cent
higher, the price now being 3 u, the highest
point of the year. This was sufficient bull news
TO bring in a good many who were short. Clear
ances at New York were reported to be 5000
bushels, which fact the bulls also used as q
lever. The conditions brought out by
even these slight circumstances was sufficient
to put July up TO SIS. :, gain # &C, but il was
well eXplained-beCause of good demand for
wheat at that price These quotations ruled
up TO the close of the morning session. There
was suong tone to wheat on the
afternoon board; July opened at s6lz6
s6Sc, closed at $3.50; June closed at &c;
yesterdays closing price. slight i'm
